Calling names - cute. Also claiming that I know little about basketball - adorable. I've been paid to coach basketball - have you?
Why is cheating in quotation marks? It was cheating, period. Whether it actually gave them an unfair advantage (it absolutely did) is immaterial. Cheating is cheating. "Everybody else is doing it" is neither true nor a defense. If you all want to make excuses for the biggest black mark in the history of Gopher athletics, knock yourselves out. I'm not going to be joining you. Nothing you say will ever change my mind. I know that I'm right, and ethics that change due to your bias are no ethics at all.

Is it the biggest black mark in Gopher athletics? The on court fight with Ohio State was a pretty dark time in Gopher history. The rape incident in Wisconsin was a very, very ugly time. Academic fraud under Clem was wrong...nobody would argue it wasn't. All very sad times.

I am really tired of hearing about the "rape" case in Madison that resulted in Jim Dutcher resigning rather than put up with the conditions imposed by the weak U of M administration that was still thrilled with itself for destroying the U of M football dynasty.

Those three players were all acquitted of any crime. They were convicted of nothing so why is it treated as a scandal? I think the average person that has any recollection of the event now thinks the players actually raped the woman and went to prison. The 'incident" was especially ugly because the media sensationalized it before any trial and the U of M higher ups buried the players and Jim Dutcher the moment the reports came out.

College aged people have all sorts of sexual encounters on a regular basis and athletes have no obligation to live up to some sort of Mormon standard.

I'll start worrying about the 1997 cheating issue and the stop considering 1997 a legitimate thing the day the NCAA strips North Carolina of many wins and vacates a few NCCA appearances.

A good friend of mine was in his second year of law at the time and got a hold of the trial transcript..
It was pretty dicey. It was evident that this girl took more balls of the chin than Yogi Berra. The Madison campus police reaction was right out of the 1960's. A white girl involved with 3 black guys.
Pull them off the plane and get jail garb on them immediately. Many years later I talked with Judy
Dutcher, Jims daughter, and she said they pulled those kids off the plane like they had shot somebody in cold blood.
 


Joke's on them, we aren't playing in anything this year.
